    HI EVERYONE. I AM A BEGINNER. CAN ANY ONE TELL HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE SIZE/S THAT YOU WANT ON OPENBUILDCAM?
    IF I CHOOSE A VERTICAL SIZE,FOR EXAMPLE, I GET AN AUTOMATIC HORIZONTAL SIZE AND THAT IS NOT WATH I WANT.
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

    Are you referring to the Scaling tool?

    You can enter Horizonal or vertical and and automatically updates the other field for you to keep the aspect correct

    Dont understand your reply but I found a way using to signlab 7 exporting as image and saving it as a bitmap in a folder.
    when I open openbuilds cam I import the bitmap on it. first I get a different size but then I can sized to the original that I previously made in signlab 7.

    however I now have another problem with openbuilds. from openbuilds cam when I get the gcode than I can not transfer it to openbuilds control.
    If I save the gcode in a folder I have the.same problem, I can not open it on the op/control.
    thanks for any advice ,

    Leslie

    Make sure the computer has OpenBuildsCONTROL running, that OpenBuildsCONTROL is allowed through the firewall, and that the computer can do DNS lookups (Connected to the Internet)


    That should work. Save it, then Open it in CONTROL.

    The Transform tool:
